To the workers and members of trade unions striking in Islington on July 10th 2014, from Islington Green Party.
We would like to express solidarity with you in your struggle for decent, secure work and fair pay, pensions and working conditions.
We believe that public sector workers provide an excellent and vital service to our country, and that our public services represent a very significant part of the true wealth of this nation.
The public sector in the UK has, for decades, been systematically attacked. Workers are bearing the brunt of this, and are being expected to pay the price for an economic crisis not of their making.
We recognise that going on strike is the option of last resort, andthat the decisions to do so have not been taken lightly. We sincerely hope that this co-ordinated action succeeds in defending your jobs, fair pay, pensions and working conditions – all of which are vital if we are to protect the integrity of our public services.
With very best wishes,
Cllr Caroline Russell, Charlie Kiss (Islington Green Party Campaigns Coordinator) and all at Islington Green Party
